## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Login as a user with permissions to create pages in a project's wiki

2.  Edit a page in a project's wiki

3.  Copy a screenshot taken from Microsoft Snipping tool

4.  Save the page

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - After a day or so, some images get replaced by a broken link (see screenshot below)

  - Opening the address (e.g. `https://openproject.silvascience.org/api/v3/attachments/2311/content`) of the missing content shows       
    `_type    "Error"`  
    `errorIdentifier    "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:NotFound"`  
    `message    "The requested resource could not be found."`

  - The directory where the image should be saved  is empty.

### 

### 

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  The images should not disappear once the wiki page is properly saved

### **Logs**

The image loss occurred between the creation of the page (2025-08-13) and its report (2025-08-14). [The docker process log output between these dates](https://community.openproject.org/api/v3/attachments/777330/content) has been attached to this ticket.
